The House as a system

LakeForestMark — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 15:54:26 +0000

When building new energy-efficient houses or making existing houses more efficient significant energy gains can

The house system is made up of the building
envelope (foundation, walls, ceiling), the heating and cooling system, the water heating system, the lighting system,
the appliances, and a fireplace if present.

Sunday couldn't have been a more gorgeous day, so headed on over to the LFP Farmer's Market after my workout at the LFP Gold's Gym this morning.

The sun was shining, the LFP Commons parking lot was packed full of people, and good, fresh, locally grown food was in abundance.

I had the pleasure of meeting Eric Rivera with Sound Bites Sauce and Spread Co., and who also attends culinary school and runs a fantastic food blog at www.ericriveracooks.com
